Code   Description / Observation / Corrective Action
105  Critical Inadequate Cooling & Refrigerated Storage of Potentially Hazardous Food(s)
Observation: The temperatures of blanched vegetables exceeded the maximum allowable temperature of 4C despite being on an ice bath and in metal inserts. This violation was also noted on the December 2009 inspection report. The previous corrective action included keeping a probe thermometer inside the inserts for monitoring internal temperature of foods.
